  Notes	In the parish birth record as Karl. In the bygdebøk as Karl. His obituary says that he emigrated to the U.S. at the age of 6 months. Charley and Anna were married in a Lutheran ceremony in La Crosse witnessed by Bertha Bowe and Ole Anderson. Charley’s occupation is shown as laborer in his marriage record. Charly and Anna spent six years in LaCrosse after Cora was born. Cora remembered it being near the Catholic church and the hospitals. Charly worked in a grocery store and a saloon. When Cora was six, the family moved out to live on the Bowe farm with the Bowes who were in declining health. Charly lived the last eight years of his life with Maurice and Cora. Death certificate 1934-MN-020308 was issued in Hennepin County for “Charles C. Anderson” with a date of death of May 22, 1934. The 1900 census enumerator, Charles Engelstad, visited the Andersons on June 11th at their rented home at 715 South 11th Street in the 17th ward. The entry indicates “Charles Anderson” as the head of family, age 32, born in May of 1867 or 1868 (the exact year is illegible). Charles is indicated as being able to read, write, and speak English, having the occupation of “harvester”, having been unemployed for 8 months of the previous year, and having emigrated to the United States in 1869. He is shown to have been born in Norway. The Anderson residence was, indeed, near a Catholic hospital and nunnery. In fact, 715 South 11th Street was across the street from St. Francis Hospital and just down the street from the Santa Rosa de Viterbo convent. In 2003, there was no building at 715 South 11th Street, just a parking lot. From the 1893-94 La Crosse city directory, we learn that Charles Anderson was a clerk for Will & Bros., grocers at 622 South 8th St. Charlie was still living at home at 603 South 8th Street. The Will & Bros. building was gone by the time of the 1906 Sanborn Fire Insurance map of La Crosse. In the 1901-02 city directory, a George Will runs a grocery and saloon and resides at 622 South 9th. All of this is consistent with Cora’s recollection of the Wills. In the 1895-96 city directory, Charley is still living at home but is now a bar keeper for John M. Kolb. In the 1897 directory, Charley works for George Dagendish, stone cutter, and now resides at 1026 South 10th Street. In the 1900 city directory, Carl C Anderson is a teamster for C L C L Co and resides at 813 Market. In the 1901-02 directory, Charley and his family are living at the 715 South 11th Street residence and Charley is a teamster for the C L Colman Lumber Co. Shortly thereafter, Charley and his family moved to the Bowe farm south of Viroqua. In the 1934 Minneapolis city directory, he is presumably the Chas C Anderson with the notation “died May 22 ‘34 age 67.” Died at Swedish Hospital in Minneapolis where he had been for four days. His residence at the time of death was 4230 Minnehaha Avenue. The cause of his death was coronary thrombosis. His death certificate, information provided by Cora, said that he had been a farmer for 12 years and that he had last been a farmer in 1924. His obit, in the Star on May 23rd, said he had been a resident of Minneapolis for seven years. His funeral was to be at the “Folsom church near Viroqua.”
